We’ve been taught that painful periods, PMS, and hormonal birth control are just part of being a woman—but what if they’re actually signs your body is out of balance? In this episode, I break down the most common period problems, what they really mean hormonally, and how birth control impacts your natural hormone rhythms (including why it may be contributing to infertility or long-term imbalance).

You’ll learn how to identify the difference between a healthy and unhealthy cycle, what symptoms to never ignore, and how to start improving your periods through nutrition, lifestyle shifts, and functional hormone testing. If you're ready to understand your body and finally feel like yourself again—this is a must-listen.
